The National Black Leadership Commission on Health (Black Health) is a non-profit organization founded in 1987 with a mission to promote health and disease prevention within the Black community through advocacy, policy, and action. They work to reduce disparities and achieve health equity for Black communities by addressing all aspects of public health and healthcare systems through education, advocacy, and policy.
Originally focused on addressing the AIDS crisis, Black Health has expanded its work to encompass comprehensive health promotion and disease prevention. They have established partnerships with over 140 organizations in regions where Black communities experience the highest rates of health disparities, aiming to prioritize high-quality, equitable, and culturally relevant healthcare for historically overlooked and medically neglected communities.
